[Spridgets] HIF6 Problem

[CosmicMag1380]

Mike,

Did you drain the old fuel out and put fresh gas in? The ethanol fuels
separate out and the heavy gunk that settles on the bottom does not burn!
Since it is at the bottom of the tank where the pickup is, it may have been
sucked through and stalled your engine.
